My focus was more about an empty $(foodir), not an empty $(foo_DATA). I was suggesting that it would be nice that an empty $(foodir) disables any install in it, whatever the primary. This is much shorter than having to play with conditionals. Currently "make install" does weird stuff in this situation, I can't believe there would be incompatibilities issues.
